Messenger Rose (3) - A Dangerous Massage
Messenger Rose (3) - A Dangerous Massage
[ Thud- ]
"Ugh... I'm dying...."
As soon as the inn room door closed, Rose flopped onto the bed, spread-eagled.
It felt like every bone and muscle in her body was screaming.
Having wrestled with the saddle all day, the insides of her thighs burned as if scalded,
and her calves were so stiff, like wood, that it was hard to even move them.
"You did well, Rose-nim. For your first time riding a horse, you endured remarkably well."
Unlike Rose.
Sherin, who was tidying her luggage in a corner, remained neat and showed no signs of fatigue.
Even if she was used to horses, she must have been tired from holding the reins and guiding the horse herself.
Despite just hanging on behind, Rose, feeling embarrassed about showing how exhausted she was, sat up with a groan.
"Haa... Still, it'll get better as I get used to it little by little. Probably..."
"It definitely will."
Rose sighed and shook her head.
Sherin approached the bed and sat at Rose's feet, saying-
"Your muscles must be very stiff. If you sleep like this, you won't be able to walk at all tomorrow... If you don't mind, should I give you a massage?"
"Uh... hmm... Sherin, you must be tired too..."
"I'm fine. Please lie down here."
As Rose turned over and buried her face in the bed,
Sherin settled herself near Rose's ankles.
Then, moving her slender hands, she began to massage Rose's calves.
[ Squeeze- Squeeze- Squeeze- ]
"Ah...! Hmph, that feels good...."
"I need to loosen the knots, so it might hurt a little."
Her stiff, knotted calves were gripped, pressed, and shaken with unusual skill.
- While she was under that Theodore bastard, I wonder if she had to do a lot of this kind of thing?
- It feels so good. My body feels like it's melting.
- I shouldn't fall asleep like this...
As she thought this and that, her eyes began to droop lazily.
"Now, I'll loosen your thighs too."
"Ah, yes. Yes..."
Moving her body, Sherin gently straddled Rose's calves, and her two hands wrapped around the back of Rose's thighs.
[ Slide, Squeeze- ]
A different kind of soft pressure than when she was loosening her stiff calves.
Spreading her fingers wide and pressing into the flesh with her fingertips, she stroked up and down, a customized massage for soft thighs.
...but.
'Hmm... something's a bit...'
The tip of her extended index finger lightly pressed and traced the curve of her buttocks.
The thumbs of both hands, angled inward, were deeply pressing into the inner thigh flesh.
Somehow, as the massage continued, the air in the room felt strangely sticky.
Is it just a massage with pure intentions, and this lewd body is reacting sensitively?
Or...
[ Slide, Press- ]
"Ah..."
The hands that were stroking her thighs pushed upwards,
and the tips of her thumbs brushed past the precarious border between her buttocks and legs.
As Rose let out a heated moan and flinched, the hands stopped,
and soon Sherin leaned down and whispered softly into Rose's ear.
"...Rose-nim."
"Yes, y-yes...?"
"Perhaps... if... if you're getting aroused or struggling because of the magic dwelling in your body... you don't have to hold back."
Her voice was somehow moist and husky.
Rose, unable to see Sherin's expression, felt a ticklish sensation.
"Because I can relieve you. Just as Rose-nim saved me, I can do anything for Rose-nim. Anything at all..."
"......!!"
< Illustration - A Slightly Dangerous Massage >
Rose's heart began to pound.
The breath on her ear was too hot.
The soft sensation of breasts was felt against her back,
and somehow, fingertips were stroking the rising curve of Rose's buttocks.
'But... is this okay...?'
The body of Lust, which didn't discriminate between men and women, humans and Monsters, was somehow already moist.
- Hmm. Just as I expected. Still, be careful not to let it interfere too much with the mission.
As if she had known this would happen, Risolde's face, narrowed eyes glaring, flickered before her eyes.
In fact, there was another reason for Rose's hesitation.
'It feels like she's asking for a night service...'
Of course, Rose had received her fair share of "night services" (?),
but Sherin now, not under anyone's orders, probably had her own will to help Rose.
Still, remembering her lonely smile as she spoke of her difficult past, Rose couldn't easily speak.
[ Slide- ]
Even amidst that, one hand, which had been gently kneading her buttocks, delved into her inner thigh again,
'Ugh...'
From within Rose, who was already leaking vaginal fluid,
- What are you hesitating for? Sherin wants this too! Open your legs wider! Accept her!
- Sherin is overexerting herself to repay a favor right now! If you embrace her like that, you'll be no different from that Theodore bastard!
While the Incarnation of Lust and the Guardian's reason were engaged in a fierce battle (?),
[ Knock-knock-knock- ]
"I've brought your ordered meal..."
"!!!"
At the sound of the maid's voice from outside the door,
the two of them startled, and sprang up like springs.
"Ah, yes! Just a moment!"
Rose hastily tidied her disheveled hair and clothes,
and Sherin, calming her flushed face, opened the door.
"I apologize for the long wait. Here is the roasted duck and potato stew."
The one who brought the steaming tray was a young maid with a freckled face.
She didn't seem to notice the thick atmosphere that had filled the room just moments ago,
but as the maid placed the food on the table with a tense expression, her gaze fell upon the Longsword and Rapier leaning against the wall.
"Ah... perhaps... are you two Knights-nim...?"
"Ah- no. We're just wandering swordsmen. Something like mercenaries."
At Rose's vague answer, the maid's eyes suddenly lit up.
And as soon as she put down the tray, she approached the two of them and asked in an urgent voice.
"Excuse me... if you're Mercenaries-nim, do you perhaps also help find people?"
"What? People? We're..."
It felt like the conversation was somehow going in the wrong direction-
just as she was about to correct something,
the maid grabbed Rose's hand and knelt.
Her eyes were full of tears.
"Please... please save my sister!"
"Huh? Your sister? What do you mean...?"
"Calm down and tell me slowly. What happened to your sister?"
The maid's gaze now
shifted from Rose, who was stepping back in confusion,
to Sherin, who had a calm expression.
"About a month ago, my sister was hired as a servant at the mansion of a new noble-nim who had come to the outskirts of the city. We were happy because they said the pay was very good... But since that day, my sister hasn't come home once. And it's not just my sister. Not a single servant who entered that mansion has come out!"
"Look... I know it's a regrettable situation, but I don't think it's something people like us should get involved in. If it's an employment issue or a missing person case, you should report it to the city guard managed by the Lord."
"Of course I tried! But the guards didn't even listen! Instead, they just scolded me, saying I was having disrespectful thoughts about the noble-nim!"
Unable to contain her anger, the maid finally burst into tears, and what she poured out in a wet voice was-
"Moreover... there's even a rumor that the noble-nim of that mansion... isn't human, but a Monster!"
It made Rose's somewhat indifferent eyes snap wide open.
"A Monster? A noble is a Monster?"
"Yes! The guard-ajusshi who was on night patrol said he heard a terrible scream from inside that mansion. And a few days ago, a little kid who went on an errand... said they saw a corpse through a crack in the open door!"
The maid's tearful voice was now trembling with a fear that overshadowed her sadness.
"It wasn't just any corpse. Its entire body was pale... It was a mummy-like corpse with not a single drop of blood left! Please, I beg you! I'll give you all the money I've saved, just please confirm if my sister is alive...!"
Screams echoing in the dead of night and a corpse with not a single drop of blood.
This was not something that could be dismissed as a simple missing person case.
Especially not for Rose, a Guardian who protects commoners from Magical Beasts and Monsters.
However.
'I need to save Ailan, Sherin's brother, and time is of the essence...'
Rose, unable to easily decide what to do, her gaze met Sherin's, who was looking at her, in mid-air.
"We'll check it out."
"...Sherin?"
"We'll go to that mansion tomorrow. Please tell us your sister's description and the mansion's location."
"Hngh...! Th-thank you! Thank you so much!"
After barely managing to calm down the maid, who was shedding tears and snot and repeatedly bowing her head, and sending her out.
"Sherin. I understand your feelings, but... we don't have time, do we? We need to go save Ailan."
"I know."
Sherin showed a smile.
As always, it was somewhat faint.
"But... the young lady's feelings for her sister didn't feel like someone else's problem, so I couldn't just pass by. I'm sorry for deciding on my own."
"Huh? No, why are you sorry...? Actually, saving such helpless people is a Guardian's duty... I was just worried about Sherin..."
"It'll be fine. News of Deluna probably hasn't reached them yet, and even if Theodore's return is delayed more than expected, they'll just think something went wrong. So, checking out that strange mansion here before we leave won't be a problem."
A firm, unwavering expression.
As if trying to reassure herself, her expression, emphasizing that there would be no problem, seemed somewhat uneasy.
"That's right. As Sherin said, if we quickly resolve things here and then go, there won't be any problem. Let's do our best!"
Guardian of the Commoners, Guardian Rose.
Clenching her fists, she strengthened her resolve.
"First, shall we eat dinner? The food seems to have gotten cold already. And then-"
"...And then?"
"Your fatigue probably hasn't completely gone away yet, so I'll continue the massage we were doing earlier."
"!! Ah, no! It's all gone! I'm completely fine now! Don't worry, Sherin!"
Rose, the Incarnation of Lust.
Holding onto her wavering reason, she suppressed her lust.
***
The next morning.
In front of the problematic mansion located on the outskirts of Caldera.
It had an antique atmosphere, but
perhaps because of the story they heard yesterday, it felt strangely eerie.
"Hello- Is anyone there?"
Even after knocking on the tightly closed iron gate and shouting,
no sign of anyone could be heard from inside.
"Eek-"
Even pushing with all her might, it still wouldn't open.
"Is no one here?"
"It might actually be fortunate for finding people trapped inside. Shall we climb over the wall?"
As Sherin looked around and asked, Rose shook her head.
"Well, since it's come to this- let's just go in boldly."
"Huh? How..."
Rose, who grinned confidently,
instead of answering, placed her left hand, clad in a Gauntlet, on the iron gate-
[ Whoosh-! ]
A wave of blue Mana flowed from its tip-
[ CRACK-! ]
With a loud roar.
A large hole, big enough for one person to easily pass through, was blasted open.
"Alright, shall we go now?"
"Uh... what if it was all just a misunderstanding by other people, and he's just an ordinary noble... what will you do then..."
"....."
"....."
'It'll work out somehow, won't it-'
Rose muttered softly, and led the way into the suspicious mansion.
